Keep app from opening when clicking a link

Question

I forget what setting I've turned on, or when, but whenever I click a link to the New York Times website, it opens the New York Times app. I don't want it to do that. I could remove the NYT app, but I want to keep it. (I find it useful.)



Is there a way to change this behavior? Even better, get Android to ask me which I want when I click the link. Changing the default web browser is not desired.



This is in both Nougat and Oreo®.

Answer

In Settings → Apps → NYTimes → Open by default:




  • Open Supported Links: set it to Ask every time

  • tap Clear Defaults



Tested on Android 6.0.1 and Android 7.1.2.



In Android 8 (Oreo®) you can also reach that setting via:




  • Settings → Apps & Notifications → (Advanced) → Default Apps → Opening links



You can alternatively stop using Chrome since Firefox, for example, does not let you choose an app to open such links (if I'm correct).
